    One day in 1942, two young men in civilian clothes marched into a primary school in Amsterdam and arrested a five-year-old Jewish boy. The little boy was taken to the headquarters of the security services for questioning. He was never to return to his classmates. Instead, he was taken to the Nazi transit camp at Westerbork before being deported to Theresienstadt, north of Prague. Against all odds, that little boy would survive the horrors of the Holocaust. His name is Martin Stern MBE. Now a retired medical doctor, he’s here to tell us his remarkable story.

    Although Una Srabovic-Ryan was not yet born when the genocide in Bosnia took place in 1995, her life has been shaped and influenced by the atrocity.

    The genocide in Darfur in Western Sudan is widely recognised as the first genocide of the twenty-first century.

He witnessed first-hand many of the atrocities in Darfur and alerted the world. Mukesh talks passionately about his time in Sudan and a decision he describes as the worst of his life - and is the driving force behind his desire to play a part in genocide education.

    EPISÓDIO 8

    Episode 7 - Why is Genocide a Contemporary Issue?

    By reminding ourselves of the worst that human beings can do to each other, we can prevent future atrocities. Today, it is critical that the brutal truth of the Holocaust and genocide is not dimmed. In this episode, we hear from Rahima Mahmut, who talks movingly about the suffering and injustice faced by the Uyghur Muslims in China, including her own personal experience of persecution. Rahima also talks about her desire to see the civilised world standing together to support the Uyghurs. The series concludes with HMDT’s Chief Executive Olivia Marks-Woldman OBE telling us what we can all do to learn from genocide – for a better future.
